Ford and Esme are paranimas, a rare perfect match of souls and the only pairing able to cross the Bridge, the rift between worlds that began a war decades ago.
Others treat that match as a blessing. Esme has known it as a curse since Ford rejected her the moment he saw her, and for eight years she has fought the bond while keeping it secret from him.
A surge in the war now threatens their lives and their world, forcing the reluctant allies into a closeness she can no longer avoid.
The bond nearly killed her once, and she can only hope she will survive it this time.
